This Peanut Butter Puff Cereal is a healthy remake of the popular kid's cereal. It's vegan, gluten free and has no refined sugars, but big peanut butter flavor.
A while back I posted a recipe for Healthy Cookie Crisp Cereal and wow was it popular. It seems you guys love cereal remakes as much as I do! So, I recreated another childhood favorite, Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal. I'm calling it Peanut Butter Puff Cereal because the texture is not exactly the same. The actual process to get the texture of the store bought cereal is complicated and I'm not even sure it can be duplicated at home. None the less my version is full of peanut buttery flavor and sure to satisfy that craving.

Instructions
This recipe is simple, but a little tedious with all the rolling of the balls. Just do what I did and employ help. My three old was my helper and she did such a good job(must be all that experience with play doh). Bet you can't tell who did which!?!
Equipment
There is no special equipment required to make this recipe. Basic kitchen tools such as measuring cups and spoons, bowls and utensils are all you need.
Storage
Store cereal in airtight container in the pantry. Good for 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, you can put the container in the refrigerator.

Hello! Would it be okay to use wheat flour alone in this recipe instead of the three different kinds? Thank you!

Wheat four should work fine, but the texture will be different. Hope this helps.
